Buko juice on a hot summer day

LOOK: Jobert, a buko seller along Gil Puyat Avenue, says he can't even sit down to rest due to the high demand buko juice as a refreshment due to this summer's higher heat index. Compared to months ago, the vendor now sells two large trucks of young coconuts per day.
